I was taken to Europe by two of my lovely friends Lee and Phil. Lee was going to a conference with 3000 midwives in Prague and they invited me to go along. Can't begin to say how grateful I was to be on this trip. We went to Prague and Berlin. I am splitting my post in two so starting with Prague and it is mostly visuals but there are a lot of them divided into categories.

Prague has been a political, cultural, and economic centre of central
Europe with waxing and waning fortunes during its 1,100-year existence. During world war 2 a lot of buildings escaped bombing so architecturally it is a wonderful place to visit. It is also the city with the most statues I have ever seen. They are in squares, parks and on almost every building. Also the music is amazing with concerts held in beautiful old palaces and government buildings.

About Me

I have been an artist for over 20 years. As I travel in different countries, including my own, I find I need to create art to continue my experience and memories of those places. My assemblage pieces consist of found objects combined with my photographs and treasures collected during my travels. Once in the studio I take from my myriad of labeled boxes an object that I want to start with and combine it with other objects, text, photographs usually constructed in a found box to tell the story.
